The fabric requirements for our blocks differ from the tutorial, so please use the following information to cut your fabrics. Then use the tutorial for construction. If you have any questions, please contact elizabeth.rea15@gmail.com for help. Blocks are due at the meeting September 16.

Fabric needs: 4 different warm-tone solids (pink, red, yellow, orange -- any shades) and medium or light gray solidNote: Please be sure to remove ALL selvage edges from your fabrics before you begin cutting and piecing. Please also take care to use a scant 1/4" seam allowance to ensure consistent block sizes.

Cut list:

Gray: Four 6-inch squares and six 2 3/4-x-7 1/4-inch rectangles

Color A and Color B: One 6-inch square and one 2 3/4-x-7 1/4-inch rectangle

Follow Angela's tutorial for constructing the 4 quadrants using a scant 1/4" seam allowance.
When you have 4 quadrants ready, square them up to 10 inches. Then be sure to lay them out in the proper order before sewing them together. The two colored links should be opposite each other, as seen in the top left and bottom right. The two gray links are top right and bottom left in these examples.

The KMQG is hosting a workshop with artist/designer/quilter/author Sherri Lynn Wood on Sunday, July 9 from 1-7 p.m.

Get Your Wedge Curve On: "Get your wedge-curve, mod-mood, groove on in this improvisational quilt-making workshop. Participants will commit one step at a time, as they explore advanced approaches to improvised patchwork and composition, develop a personal/intuitive language of color, and learn ruler-free, wedge-curve, piecing techniques."

The workshop will be held at Westminster Presbyterian Church, located at 6500 Northshore Dr., Knoxville, TN. Cost is $90 for members and $110 for non-members. A few openings remain, so contact modknoxville@gmail.com ASAP to reserve your spot.
